Keep your POS, ERP, and accounting right where they are. LineNow works between them: it turns stock signals into supplier purchase orders, catches the confirmations, shortages, and price changes as they land, and sends the finished record downstream — so nobody retypes a supplier email into the system again.

Customer-loved Supplier Ordering Workflow for Buying Teams
I have saved thousands of dollars a month on my own time and ordering strategy. It's a relief to know you're doing the right thing, and incredibly quickly.
Your POS, inventory, and accounting tools record important facts, but they rarely handle supplier follow-up, order changes, and receiving exceptions for buyers.
Sales, inventory, supplier replies, receipts, and bills drift apart. Teams end up working from stale PO snapshots instead of the current purchase state.
Four tools that connect demand signals, supplier purchase orders, supplier replies, and receiving.
Purchase Orders
Create, send, and track supplier POs.
Build purchase orders from inventory insights, AI suggestions, or manual entry. Group by supplier, apply pack sizes, and send via email or storefront without leaving the buying workflow.

Auto-grouped by supplier with pack-size rounding

Our AI assistant analyzes spend, inventory, and supplier data, then helps buyers act on the next order.

From reorder need to accounting
LineNow sits beside POS, ERP, inventory, and accounting systems as the buying workflow between stock needs and final records. Buyers create supplier orders from real inventory needs, track supplier changes, receive goods, match invoices before accounting pays, update stock levels, and send clean records downstream.
Create
Turn inventory alerts, reorder points, templates, past orders, or AI suggestions into supplier purchase orders with pack sizes, units, and order history intact.
Confirm
Suppliers confirm line-by-line. Substitutions, backorders, price changes, and ETAs stay attached to the purchase order.
Receive
Check items in on your phone. Delivered quantities update inventory from the real receiving state, not a static spreadsheet.
Reconcile
Match the supplier invoice against the live PO and receiving state before accounting pays it, then hand over clean purchase data.
Bills, received quantities, costs, shipments, compliance records
LineNow work layer
The part your systems do not own
One order record carries the decision, supplier conversation, receiving variance, and downstream handoff.
01Turn signals into a buy listLineNow reads usage, stock, supplier rules, pack sizes, and open orders before recommending what to buy.
02Create supplier-ready POsThe buyer reviews one working order, then sends supplier-specific purchase orders without rebuilding them elsewhere.
03Attach every supplier replyConfirmations, shortages, substitutions, price changes, and ETAs update the order instead of sitting in an inbox.
04Push clean records backReceiving, final costs, invoice context, and fulfillment state are handed downstream after the order has changed.
Where LineNow Fits
Your POS, ERP, inventory system, or accounting tool can stay in place. LineNow manages the buying work around those systems: what to buy, what the supplier confirmed, what arrived, and what accounting needs next.

Everything you need to know about using LineNow beside the tools you already run
LineNow handles the ordering work around the tools that already track sales, inventory, warehouse activity, or accounting. Those systems can keep their records while LineNow manages supplier replies, substitutions, ETAs, receiving, invoice mismatches, inventory updates, and the next reorder.
LineNow works for retail stores, restaurants and food service, dropshipping businesses, and small manufacturers. If you need procurement software that uses inventory and sales signals to buy from suppliers, track what changed after the PO was sent, and receive goods, LineNow is built for you.
LineNow is procurement software with inventory context. Inventory shows what needs attention, procurement turns that need into a purchase order, supplier replies show what changed, receiving updates inventory, and accounting gets the final purchase data.
No. LineNow is not an accounting system. It manages the purchasing workflow before accounting: recommendations, POs, supplier replies, receiving, and clean purchase data for tools like QuickBooks Online or Xero.
LineNow connects with Square, Shopify, Toast, Clover, Lightspeed, Amazon, and Faire. Connected channels use the fastest reliable sync pattern their APIs support. Toast uses a read-only Standard API connection, signed menu and order webhooks, and an initial order backfill so purchase recommendations can stay tied to current restaurant demand.
Yes — multi-location is supported in the standard plan. You can track inventory, set reorder points, and create purchase orders for each location independently, all from one dashboard. Whether you have 2 locations or 20, the workflow is the same.
You can create purchase orders from your inventory view, from AI suggestions, or manually. LineNow groups items by supplier, applies pack-size rounding, and lets you send the PO via email or your online storefront. When deliveries arrive, you match them against the PO and inventory updates automatically.
Not necessarily. LineNow can replace lightweight PO spreadsheets or disconnected purchasing tools, but many teams use it beside POS, ERP, inventory, and accounting systems that already hold important records.
Yes. Teams can create and send purchase orders online, track supplier confirmations, manage changes, receive goods, and keep a searchable history of purchasing activity by supplier and order.
Yes. You can define bill-of-materials for manufactured goods or recipes for menu items. Sales activity feeds ingredient usage, and supplier cost changes flow into recipe and product margin review so operators can see what changed before the next order.
The AI assistant analyzes your sales, inventory, and supplier data. You can ask questions in plain English like "What is my category spend this quarter?" or "Compare my suppliers on delivery reliability." It returns tables, charts, and actionable insights — and can even build purchase order carts directly from its analysis.
Yes. The 90-day free trial gives you full access to everything: unlimited items, unlimited suppliers, POS sync, AI assistant, multi-location support, and all reporting tools. No credit card required.
After the 90-day free trial, the public pricing page lists the core plan at $100/month per active business unit. It includes unlimited items, suppliers, users, AI assistant access, and the core workflow features described on the pricing page.
You get direct support from the LineNow team for setup, imports, POS connections, supplier workflows, and procurement process questions.
